Seventy of the French Air Force aircraft were fitted with machine-guns for gunnery training and some of these were later converted for counter-insurgency operations (and re-designated MS.733A) for use in Algeria.
After the war, some aircraft were sold to Morocco.

The Alcyon was a successful trainer, capable of basic aerobatic maneuvers.
It was often used in replacement of pre-war vintage [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] biplanes.
Several civilian flying schools, including [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], used the Alcyon.
For the time, it was well equipped with full [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] equipment: two VOR-ILS sets, one ADF set, two VHF radios, an attitude indicator and a directional gyroscope.

For this reason, it was often used for navigation training as it was far cheaper to operate than the twin-engine designs commonly used for that task.

Since retirement by the French military services, several Alcyons have been restored to flying condition by private owners and groups.
